In ten,,days: I think the battle will be fought, and be assured it will be a fortunate one. 00 - aro)y have now got all under cover, which, in this dreadful, boistelous, and rainy sea,on, is a great, objea. They . are plentifully supplied with provis stuns, and are in great health and spirits, .autici pining, with much satisfaction, the scrape which the French have got into, and anxiousio pot-their paws upon them. On time other hand, the French army must be suffering severely fiom the effects of bad weather 'and watt of provisions. A very intelligent . French seijeant, .v. - ho was taken . prisoner, and brought in here yesterday, says, • the French have ben completely deceived in regard to our numbers, which they do not estimate at above 40,000 men, and that heis now convinced, by theiradvancing, that they have got into a scr2pe, from which they can nut extricate themselves . Our .Government will Dot now, I hope, yelax in their exertions to send ont reinforcements, but push them out as speedily its posSible ; but they should be landed at Cortintni •-er Oporto, where they will join the Spanish and k)ortugucse divisions, which are cutting off the sup-. piles of provisions for the French army, and which may 'attire in time to cut off the ,retreat of their troops into France. If exertion is now made in all quarters, will not be a Frenchman in Spain in six months; and nothing will tend - to shake the power of Buonaparte in FranCe more than the anni- Ir lation bf his great army in this country. • " P.

His,are not the wars of ambition or family aggrandisetnent, but of philanthropy,- a• zeal for the independence of States, and a regard for the proper liberties of man. Hence it - may justly be in ferred that such a life is dear, not only to the people who immediately enjoy the blessings of hisfpaternal' government,—not only to the people of those coun tries whom he is endeavouring to save, from the iron yoke of an ambitious 'and merciless ' Tyrant—but that even the subjects of that Tyrant must look wi:h esteetn and veneration upon our .beloved Sovereign, 'as well as with a hope; that by preserving other countries; he may contribute, in due time to the,deliverance of their own from ,disgracefid and cruel usurpation.
